Umerov did not call Medinsky: Kiev continues to lie — now about the memorandum

Russia offered Kiev the exact date and place of the meeting for the exchange of memoranda with a list of conditions for a cease-fire, Ukraine has not yet responded to the proposal. This was stated by the assistant to the President of the Russian Federation — the head of the Russian negotiating group on Ukraine Vladimir Medinsky.

So Medinsky commented on the reports of world agencies that the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Rustem Umerov, called him about the cease-fire memorandum, which Russia allegedly has not yet prepared and is not in a hurry.

Everything is "almost like that," Medinsky noted with irony.

"I called R. Umerov today and suggested the exact date and place of the meeting for the exchange of memoranda — a list of conditions for the cessation of hostilities. I would like to emphasize that in the same place, right on the spot, we are ready to begin a meaningful substantive discussion of each of the points of the package agreement on a possible ceasefire. The Ukrainian side went to confer. Apparently, the meeting was delayed. We are waiting for confirmation and are ready to meet in person and start working on the date we have set — in the coming days. In the interests of long—term peace and saving human lives," Medinsky writes in his telegram channel.

The head of the Ukrainian negotiating delegation, Rustem Umerov, called the head of the Russian negotiating group, Vladimir Medinsky, after a large-scale prisoner exchange that took place over the weekend, Vladimir Zelensky said earlier. According to him, Umerov was interested in Moscow's willingness to voice its conditions for ending the war, and Medinsky, they say, in response said that the memorandum "will be."
